The Aggie Ladies’ basketball
une last night could not be consid-
fed a warm up game before the
en’s game because the men had
ie night off. In their 82-61 victory
er Southwest Texas State Univer-
|ty, the Aggie Ladies were the
main event of the evening.
Aggie coach Wanda Bender will
be the first to admit that the crowd
I that files in during the second half of
' "' her games is there primarily to see
die men’s game. She said she was
jctremely happy to see approxi-
Sately 200 people at her game last

band and a few people from Snook
would show up,” the Aggie coach
said, “but I was very pleased to see
that many people here. I realize that
if we expect to gain the support of
the school and the community we re
going to have to win.
One thing that upset Bender was
the fact that there were no yell lead
ers present at the game.
“I guess the yell leaders just don’t
feel that we re a part of the esprit de
corps,” she said, quickly adding that
she appreciated the three students
who led yells and the crowd’s par
ticipation.
Contacted after the game, head
yell leader Joe Reagan said that he
was aware of the game, but that all
the yell leaders were occupied with
school work.
The Aggie’s pre-game warm up is
almost as entertaining as the game
itself. To the tune of “Sweet Georgia
Brown,’’ the Ladies perform
Globetrotter-like feats with the bas
ketball, much to the fans’ delight.
“My philosophy is this,” Bender
said, “Most of the time it looks good
and it gets the players loose. It is
also a psychological thing. I’ve seen
other teams stand there and watch
us instead of warming up them
selves.”
A&M and SWT played a nip-
and-tuck game until the five-minute
mark in the first half. At that point
the Aggies took command and went
into the locker room at halftime with
a nine-point lead.
“We just made simple mistakes,”
SWT coach Dana Craft said of the
Bobcat’s downfall. “Our girls got
rattled and we never hit a basket
again that half.”
SWT could not correct its mis
takes in the second half and the Ag
gies increased their lead on the
strength of their rebounding.
“They definitely out-rebounded
us,” Craft said. “A&M’s low posts
did good jobs both offensively and
defensively on rebounding. When
they allow us only one shot you
know they are doing a good re
bounding job.”
Coach Bender said that she has
been stressing rebounding in her
practices.
“We’ve worked on rebounding
and jerking the ball so that the op
ponent won’t tie it up,” she said.
Pat Werner led the Aggies with
nine rebounds. She was also the
leading scorer with 22 points. Other
Aggies in double figures included
Von Bunn, 14; Sheree Christian, 12
and Cindy Gough, 10.
“We didn’t expect Southwest to
use their full court press as much as
they did,” Bender said. “Their press
and their zone gave us the most
trouble.”
Susan Kimbro did not suit up for
the Aggies last night. She sprained
an ankle in Wednesday’s practice
and probably will not play against
Texas Tech.
“We are greatly weakened with
out Susan,” Bender said. “She is our
leading rebounder. She should be
ready for the Texas game.
The Aggie Ladies play Texas Tech
in Lubbock Saturday with tip-off
scheduled for 5:00 p.m.
